melanie white saying don't be so naive. the obamas staged theirs for poll approval. i mean, you can say that, but as a fact, come on. and later in the interview, michelle obama said her husband is a man who always keeps his promises, not true. and on the katy perry homage to the geisha, the idea of cultural appropriation is absurd. artists rad s routinely borrow. and i wouldn't think a christian would spend a dime on your book. "killing jesus" has been on the number one slot for nine weeks, i am glad everybody doesn't think the way you do. and oregon, bought a copy of killing jesus for the pastor of my church, he read an excerpt from it in his morning service. well, i appreciate this one. this is a good one, money is tight, we all know that, but christmas is a good time to spend a little money and be generous, here is a website, called retailmenot.com. it is the largest digital coupon site in the usa. in the last 24 hours, about four million coupons were used from that website in stores all across the nation. so you might want to check it out because it can save you
